Lyndel was the founder of Clearwater Utilities, and built the firm into one of the largest undergroun­d utility companies in Houston and the surroundin­g areas. He was a friend to all who knew him and was a kind and very generous man who helped so many and asked for nothing in return.

He was the patriarch of the Berry family and will be forever missed by his family and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Lyndel loved life and he dearly loved his family! He had a special zest for life and an infectious laugh that brought a smile and joy to all who knew him. He was so proud of all of his family and the businesses they helped him build. Lyndel was especially proud of his grandchild­ren and talked about them incessantl­y!

Lyndel had so many friends and touched the lives of so many over the years. All who knew Lyndel know how special he was and he cherished the friendship of each of them. Well done Lyndel, and Godspeed! We will all rejoice together someday in the presence of our Lord!
